Product Description
Joe Pike — the ex-cop, ex-Marine, exmercenary from Robert Crais’s superb PI Elvis Cole novels — headlines the explosive action of this page-turning New York Times bestseller.
A wild-living young heiress slams into distress in the L.A. night — the kind of distress even her money can’t shut down. After her Aston Martin collides with a mysterious car, Larkin Conner Barkley attempts to help the manufacturing accident victims — and becomes the sole witness in a federal investigation. Whisking her out of her Beverly Hills world is Joe Pike, hired to shield Larkin Barkley from a relentless team of killers. But when a chain of lies and betrayals tightens around them, Pike drops off the grid and follows his own rules for survival: strike quick, hit hard, hunt down the hunters….

I can’t judge I’d ever say there is a Crais novel out there I didn’t like… but this was just is not excellent. Primarily, for me, it was the plot. Too many characters that I establish extremely hard to follow. The switching points of view didn’t flow well either. Every character in this novel seemed to have a better understanding of what was going on with drug cartels and shaddy characters besides me and the girl which had nothing to do with understanding Joe.
Do I have a better understanding of Joe? Sure. But I could have read just a book of flashbacks and been fine with that.

As a longtime fan of Robert Crais who enjoys Joe Pike and Elvis Cole tales, I establish this one disappointing in terms of writing, character development and plot. Any writer who can only come up with (as tiny as)”a postage stamp,” not once, but twice, is being bone idle (and needs an editor). Similarly, as far as characters, our heroine’s (would-be victim) development went about as far as a 15 second report on Entertainment Tonight. Gee, a sexy rich girl who’s legendary for being legendary and whose father owns (among additional things) hotels: Marvel who that could be? And, wow, the father has some disreputable business dealings himself!! Who’d have thought? Forget this one – dunno how it garnered a four-and-a- half star rating, and go for earlier books, which really are excellent.

you don’t see. Familiarity breeds… You know that sometimes what we don’t know is more entertaining than when we get the back tale. Somehow following Pike around lessens his impact. Well done but. See if you don’t agree.

I have never read this leader before and felt the book was average

Robert Crais should take a long trip, and rethink what he’s doing.
Joe Pike is a compelling character ( as is Elvis Cole) and the flashback background pieces on Pike work well in the book, showing Crais’ best writing side, but otherwise all the additional key characters are poorly sketched, and the writing to support the lame tale line is pathetic — like a imitation of terrible screenplays Crais may have written and discarded.
The picture on the back of the book show Crais projecting supercool, with Pike sunglasses. Maybe less self-regard, and better writing next time.
